Critically
Brain Initiative
Brain is the final frontier, Brain Initiative was led by white house in 2013 to increase NIH Funding toward Neurosciences

Emotionally
Both my grandmothers died of intracerebral hemorrhages. My paternal side had hepatitis C that led to coagulopathic disorder and maternal side had amyloid angiopathy as the cause that has led an emotional longing in me to pursue the field of Neurology. I personally feel that even in situations where you do not have a cure, a good physician can serve.
